Visit to FC Porto, Portugal

7th November 2018

During half term, our PE department were pleased to offer a group of football enthusiasts the opportunity to visit one of the top sporting destinations in Portugal.

On 27 October, 49 students travelled to Portugal to take part in a football development programme at FC Porto. This exciting programme gave students the opportunity to train with professional youth coaches as well as benefit from the educational and cultural benefits that Porto has to offer.

Throughout the week, students trained with FC Porto coaches and played fixtures against local oppositions. The teams had some very good results and all students played well.

Whilst away, student went on a stadium tour, visited the club museum and also managed to watch a first team game live at the Estádio do Dragão stadium.

Trip Leader, Mr Coulbeck, said "The trip was a great experience for all involved and hopefully one that students will remember for a long time to come.”
